I'd have to agree with Tom and Mike, Bar-tailed Godwit. The bill is covered
in mud making it look all black and it's too narrow for a dowitcher. The
feeding posture is wrong for an Asian Dowitcher, they feed with a vertical
downward motion, this bird clearly shows the bill pointing forward which is
how Bar-tails feed.
